§  482-a. Legislative findings and purpose. The legislature finds that  public policy experts and state and local agencies have  been  searching  for  a  model  of  service  delivery  that  will insure programmatically  effective and cost-efficient delivery of services to inner-city families  and neighborhoods, and that the emerging  consensus  is  that  the  best  models   provide   comprehensive,  coordinated,  neighborhood-based  and  family-focused services. The legislature further  finds  that  New  York  state's existing network of fifty-eight settlement houses can contribute  to  providing  these  comprehensive, coordinated, neighborhood-based and  family-focused  services  in  a  cost-effective  manner,  and  that  the  capacity  of  these  settlement  houses  to  provide  and  enhance these  services can be increased if the settlement  houses  are  provided  with  additional  resources  to  implement  greater  neighborhood outreach, to  direct individuals and family  members  to  appropriate  settlement  and  community-based resources, to monitor the progress of these individuals,  and  to  plan and coordinate intra-agency and community services so that  community residents have easy access to a range of services that respond  to the varied and often multiple needs of individuals and families.    It is the intent of the legislature to increase the funds available to  settlement houses for the purpose of providing a comprehensive range  of  services  to  the  residents  of  the neighborhoods they serve, and that  funds  provided  pursuant  to  this  article  will  be  complemented  by  privately-raised  contributions to the settlement-houses for the program  services funded pursuant to  this  article.  The  legislature  does  not  intend  that these funds be used as a substitute for any funds currently  available from federal, state or local  sources  for  the  provision  of  neighborhood-based  service  delivery  programs  provided  by settlement  houses.
